I wonder how long it takes after the Total FX treatment for fine lines and wrinkles to diminish, if not disappear? Most of the before/after pictures for Total FX show that wrinkles/lines have practically vanished. I had Total FX one week ago, and up to now, I see zero change in the appearance of lines/wrinkles I wanted to treat.
I am a 49 year old male that had the TotalFX procedure done about a year ago on the cheek, temple areas of my face. The texture on my face has gotten progressively worse over the year. I see lots of raised plaques and bumps on my skin that weren't there before. When I discuss the results with the provider there is no acknowledgement that texture of my skin has gotten worse. What could have caused a result like this? What would be the recommendation to address the texture change
I am 3 days post op and my main concerns were under my eyes and upper eyes I went for this treatment esp for that My face is still healing but my eyes were barely touched and no redness bleed or oozeNowI feel I will be disappointed I was more concerned my eyes than anywhere Is it possible that the eyes could not be treated?forthin skin?
2 days ago i had a total fx laser. I also had fat injections in cheeks and lips. How long is a normal recovery to have normal skin after fx- laser? And the fat- injections in cheeks give me a swollen look, what is normal time to recovery (to look normal again)?
Lumenis recently introduced SCAAR FX, a mode for its UltraPulse fractional CO2 laser which allows treatment up to a depth of 4 mm, double that of DeepFX mode. How is this going to affect the treatment of atrophic acne scars on the face? Is it going to substantially improve the results achievable with DeepFX or totalfx?
Is it safe to use Obagi Nu Derm after Total FX? I had the procedure done under my eyes & the skin is slightly pink but I'm noticing square patches of hyperpigmentation. It has been 18 days since my procedure & I was curious if starting Obagi would keep it from healing properly. I understand that the system causes redness & peeling in the first phase. I would prefer to treat my entire face at once rather than avoid the eye area, especially since that is my greatest area of concern at the moment.
On 20th May (over 6 weeks ago) I had Lumenis Total FX done. Despite of the fact that Im using sunblock (50 and 100) several times a day, I suffer from Hyperpigmentation and still have visible laser track marks. Is that normal? Or could that be a burn? I started using Hydroquinone Cream 3% 1.5 weeks ago.
I'm going in for Active/Total FX treatment on December 12. The MD that will be doing the procedure (very experienced with a great track record) doesn't believe that Biafine will make a big difference. Does anyone believe that Biafine is a good topical for post-procedure care? Is there a non-prescription alternative?
I had Total FX done on one scar on my cheek 2 1/2 months ago, and am still red. Is this normal, and will it ever go away? My doctor did light treatments at one and two months, and I have not seen much difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
